Certainly A-Z London maps used this method.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-56071944855411873922012-04-25T08:02:06.294-07:002012-04-25T08:02:06.294-07:00Primo who had the Fish 'n' Chip Shop in th...Primo who had the Fish 'n' Chip Shop in the Craigie shops originated from Dudhope Street where he and his family had a shop from before the Second World War. My fathers immediate family lived at no 33 Hilltown and so Primo's was well used until they knocked down that bit of Dudhope Street in the early 60's. As an Art Student in the 60's I worked at Xmas time on the Posties and was sent to Craigie to deliver mail. That is from Xmas '66 to Xmas '69. Imagine my surprise to deliver mail to Primo's each year and to chat to him about the "good"old days as he remembered my dad and his brother George and Auntie Liz.Sandy Pagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-12446955006505808572011-12-14T02:44:50.323-08:002011-12-14T02:44:50.323-08:00I lived on Aboyne Avenue.

I didn't deal with maps, just the listings. They had a team of people, mainly students, who went out during the day to verify the names of the householder and the next day we had to check them against the previous year, deleting and adding, as required. It was the easiest job in the world and possibly the most boring too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
